Why? Because it's built into the applicable code.
How to remove it? Provide a link to your site please. We'll take a look and see if we can determine the source and try to guide you about its removal.
Just one quick point... Are you writing your own excerpts?

I am unsure why that's happening, except that it's trying to bring your readers to your post.
BTW, a journalism rule of thumb is that the core summary of a good article should be written into the first sentence, which is generally why I limit my excerpts to that. Even with the shorter sentences, I still get a "Continue Reading" link.

Thanks for the tip but I'd really like to figure out away to remove the link on short posts when there is no need to bring the readers anywhere. That's just bad usability.
I'll do more digging. This is definitely a platformpro thing. Wordpress does not display this link unless it finds a link of excerpts are used.

Hi,
I understand where you're coming from, I had a similar thought when I did a short post on my blog and had the continue link popup when it wasn't needed. But when I removed it using CSS which I've provided below, after a few hours I removed the code as it just didn't look right in my opinion, maybe you will feel the same once it's gone, remember you don't know what you've got till it's gone hehe
To remove it, add this to Platform Settings --> Custom Code --> CSS Rules:
[code]
#post-10434 .continue_reading_link { display:none; }
[/code]
That should do the trick I think.

Thanks! That works in the short term!
I've been tinkering with ways to to this automatically with a function so I don't have to manually add css code for every short post.
For the record.. I love the way it looks! :)
